[External_Sender] RE: REMINDER: Notifica tion of NRC of PCA Finding (Cintinued Reasonable Assurance)

Mike On August 30, 2017, based on the Preliminary Capabilities Assessment (PCA) performed, and our review of available information gathered in discussions with th e OROs, FEMA has concluded that offsite radiological emergency preparedness (EP) remains adequate to provide "Reasonable Assurance" and that appropriate measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public in a radiological emergency at the South Texas Project. At this time, FEMA is not initiating actions to conduct a Disaster Initiated Review (DIR) of offsite EP issues within the South Texas Project 10-mile emergency planning zone.

Thanks Tim
